Abstract: Objective To determine the differences in the upper airway morphology among different sagittal skeletal profiles in adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. Methods A total of 187 adolescents(91 males and 96 females)who sought orthodontic treatment in the Stomatological Hospital of Shandong University were involved. All participants received cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT). The morphology of the upper airway was measured with Dolphin 11.95. Based on the APDI value, both male and female participants were divided to three groups: skeletal class Ⅰ, skeletal class Ⅱ and skeletal class Ⅲ, respectively. Data collected were statistically analyzed with SPSS software. Results In males, there were significant differences in the velopharyngeal area, the total area of the upper airway in the median sagittal plane, the sagittal diameter of the upper airway and the ratio of the transverse diameter to the sagittal diameter at the level of the posterior nasal spine among the three groups (P<0.05). In females, only the velopharyngeal area showed statistically significant difference among the three groups(P<0.05). Conclusion The morphology of the upper airway shows significant differences in various sagittal skeletal profiles in adolescents aged 12 to15 years.
